On January 6, armed Trumpist militias will be rallying in DC, at Trump's orders. It's highly likely that they'll try to storm the Capitol after it certifies Joe Biden's win. I don't think this has sunk in yet.

Cancelling $1.7T in taxes for 600 billionaires but not $1.7T in student debt for 45M Americans is the modern version of let them eat cake.

Every single swing-seat House Democrat who endorsed #MedicareForAll won re-election or is on track to win re-election.

Every.👏🏽 Single.👏🏽 One.👏🏽

There are folks running around on TV blaming progressivism for Dem underperformance.

I was curious, so I decided to open the hood on struggling campaigns of candidates who are blaming progressives for their problems.

Almost all had awful execution on digital. DURING A PANDEMIC.

Please stop calling undocumented people who pay taxes “freeloaders”. A freeloader is a trust-fund billionaire who pays $0 in federal income taxes for 10 out of 15 years and then receives top-notch government-funded health care when he gets sick.

Since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, states with a history of voter suppression have closed 1,688 polling places.

Pass it on.

Don't let the GOP tell you otherwise.

In case you're still confused about white fragility, White American Theater leaders are giving us a master class right now. The #WeSeeYouWAT demands came out 2 weeks ago, and public silence has been deafening. And so has private fragility. It looks something like this: (thread)

The NAACP is suing the Education Department, accusing it of unlawfully trying to siphon federal relief funds from public school districts “for the benefit of more affluent private-school students.”

Intersectionality is not additive. It’s fundamentally reconstitutive. Pass it on.

More people have been arrested for protesting the murder of Breonna Taylor than for the actual murder of Breonna Taylor.

Federal agents are brutally attacking medics in Portland.

We will not let these inhumane and unconstitutional actions go unanswered.

Democracy. Tyranny.

Chicago police punched a young Black woman protester in the face last night and knocked her teeth out. I don’t want to retweet the image. I just want folks to be aware this was happening while politicians were posting their statements about John Lewis in Selma in 1965.
